Peavey Classic 20 Guitar Combo Amplifier

The Peavey Classic 20 is an all-tube combo amplifier that delivers the warm, rich tones the Classic Series is known for. Combining vintage character with modern functionality, it provides a versatile platform for shaping your sound—whether you're practicing at home, recording in the studio, or performing live on stage.

With a legacy dating back to 1973, the Classic Series has become a trusted choice among professional musicians for its consistent performance, tonal depth, and reliable build quality. Designed under the vision of Hartley Peavey, it reflects a long-standing commitment to craftsmanship and value.

Ideal for Country, Jazz, Blues, and Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Classic 20 delivers impressive warmth and clarity in a compact format. It is powered by 2 x EL84 output tubes and 3 x 12AX7/ECC83 preamp tubes, producing rich, responsive tube tone. Weighing under 35 lbs., it remains highly portable for gigging musicians.

The amp features two channels and a dedicated boost function, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles. Both channels share a 3-band EQ, reverb, and effects loop, all accessible via the included footswitch for convenient control.

Modern connectivity includes Peavey’s MSDI™ XLR and USB outputs for direct recording or connection to front-of-house systems. A 3-position power attenuator (20W, 5W, 1W) allows full tube tone at reduced volumes, while the speaker defeat switch enables silent recording directly into a DAW.
